Admissions Criteria

Nursery admissions: The school has 48 spaces (24 morning, 24 afternoon). Children are admitted to Nursery the term after their third birthday, subject to space. Proof of address and the child’s birth certificate are required. Nursery sessions run 8:45–11:45 and 12:30–3:30; children may attend both sessions and may have lunch for a small charge. A place in Nursery does not guarantee a place in Reception. Suffolk County Council handles Reception (in-year) and Years 1–6 admissions. Applications can be made via the council or by contacting the school office; In-year applications involve tours by a member of the Senior Leadership Team, paperwork handled by Active Learning Trust, and start dates issued. For assistance, contact 01502 713420 or [email protected].
